Favorite of the "B" Detective shows
Its all about the sidekick. Starting with Jan Minor raised the level of the standard Girl Friday to full fledged wink and a nod "are they or aren't they". Good blend of actual whodunnit elements, just enough corniness, and the third best co-ed duo in the game. So why not an "A" show? In a word? Writing. Slightly above Mr. Keen with a cast that truly deserved better...and never got it. I've heard at least 100 Casey's. The Only ones that stand out are the Lover's lane mystery, the dental one, and the few without Casey. It's a weaker Boston Blackie with better production values and a better acting pool...but a Much less charismatic lead. This is above average ear candy.

SMILE, SAY 'CHEEKY!"
Great series! sad that the sound quality varies on some. One of O.T.R's finest and most enjoyable shows. BTW, by the way, woman playing Ann Williams later achieved fame as "Madge, the Palmolive dish soap lady" on TV ads. "You're soaking in it!"
